Troubleshooting
Common Paradise Bot issues and how to fix them.
Bot Isn't Responding
Check the basics first:
- Use slash commands - All commands start with
/. The bot does not respond to text prefixes. - Bot is online - Look for the green status dot next to the bot's name.
- Permissions - The bot needs
Send Messages,Embed Links,Use Slash Commands, andRead Message Historyin the channel. - Right channel - Some servers restrict bot use to specific channels. Ask an admin if you're unsure.
- Try a different channel - Rules out a channel-specific permission issue.
If the bot still doesn't respond, it may be down. Check the support server for status.
My Balance Looks Wrong
Balances don't change without a reason. Check:
- Recent activity -
/historyshows your last transactions - You got robbed - Other players can use
/rob @you. Check notifications. - Server-wide events - Some servers run economy resets or bonus events.
- Property/farm taxes - Recurring upkeep is deducted automatically.
If you're sure something is wrong, file /bug <description> with as much detail as possible.
Commands Are Slow or Time Out
This usually means high load - either Discord's API or the bot itself.
- Wait a minute and try again
- Check the support server for known incidents
- Avoid spamming the same command - it makes things worse
"You're on cooldown"
Most income commands (/daily, /hourly, /beg, /crime) have cooldowns. The error message tells you when you can run them next. Patrons get reduced cooldowns.
A Specific Game Is Broken
Use /bug <description> and include:
- The game and command you ran
- What you expected to happen
- What actually happened
- Approximate time
Screenshots help. If the game ate your money, the developer can usually refund once verified.
"You don't have permission"
Some commands are admin-only. If you think you should have access:
- Ask a server admin to check the bot's role configuration
- Some commands require
AdministratororManage ServerDiscord permissions
I Was Banned by Mistake
Open a ticket in the support server. Include your Discord ID and a brief explanation. Bans aren't reversed without context, so be specific.
